deep said:a middleage woman gets arrested for wearing a t-shirt
yep, freedom is on the march
Sheehan, who was invited to attend the speech by Rep. Lynn Woolsey (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., was charged with demonstrating in the Capitol building, said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. The charge was later changed to unlawful conduct, Schneider said. Both charges are misdemeanors.
Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.
Irvine511 said:her whole, "i'm a mother, so i'm speaking as a mother" gets old and increasingly transparent when you realize how unsophistocated her political stance is.
she also needs better handlers.

Doesn't this strike you as a contradiction (not your statement, but Sheehan's stance and position)?
The genuine aspects of her loss would appear to lose strength when there are those behind the scene "manufacturing" the image.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Indian Shores, told a newspaper that she was ejected during the State of the Union address for wearing a T-shirt that says, "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom."
Beverly Young told the St. Petersburg Times that she was sitting in the front row of the House gallery Tuesday night when she was approached by someone who told her she needed to leave.
She said she reluctantly agreed, but argued with several officers in an outside hallway.
In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Young said she told them her shirt wasn't a protest but a message of support.
Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said Young wasn't ejected from the gallery and she left on her own. She couldn't provide additional details.
Young's husband found out about the incident after Bush's speech and called it unacceptable.
Irvine511 said:so it's safe to assume that Ms. Sheehan is under surveillance and her phones have been wire-tapped? they knew what she was doing, right down to the t-shirt she was going to wear, and were able to effectively counter-program?
good.

Please.
The SOTU is so well scripted, the entire "drama" with Cindy Sheehan and Beverly Young was all scripted before the event.

I am with those of you that believe the Republican Congressman's wife was plant
to justify removing Sheehan.

Do you really think those are her own words. Irvine spoke of her needing better handlers. I'm sure people working with MichaelMoore.com would be happy to help.
